For many locations of medical ultrasound, books that provide physicians with comprehensive, practical information are easily offered. Unfortunately, for the field of ultrasound mammography, such texts are few in number, in contrast to the num ber readily available for other fields of medical ultrasound. This textbook by Drs. Hack eHler, Duda, and Lauth fills this gap by providing a clear introduction of the usefulness and limitations of ultrasound mammography. Information based on scientific experiences with various kinds of automated and real-time instrumentation exists in a way that enables doctors to make their own judgments regarding the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound mammogra phy. It likewise offers particular information on strategies required to obtain helpful diagnostic information. Examples of the lots of possible image variations of particular breast pathologies exist. The benefits of current real-time systems, when used with a stand-off, are plainly laid out. The authors do not belabor the philosophical dilemma of which sys tem, an automated or a real-time, is finest suited for ultrasound mammography. They just provide the details they have actually gotten in their use of both of these systems and indicate that, in the future, a mix of automated and real-time would be the most important for the physician.
